I will pray for you my dear friend, I am convinced that you have it wrong. Jesus told us that many would come after Him, claiming to have new revelation from God but He warned us not to listen to these people.
Jesus said if anyone comes along and teaches anything other than the Gospel which He taught, let them be cursed and pay no attention to them. So with all due respect, I must rebuke your guru and everything he stands for. I reject everything that he has to say as lies, Christ said "let every man be a liar and let God be true".
You are free to rebuke whoever you want to because you have free will just like everyone else. However, regarding the return of Christ, biblically you do not have a leg to stand on.
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
That is true. There have been many false christs. However, logically speaking, that does not mean that everyone who claimed to be the return of Christ was false. Jesus also said we should be watching because “the Lord doth come.”
Matthew 24:42-44 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Note that Jesus says
“for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come” and not “for ye know not what hour I doth come.” Jesus said “the Son of man cometh” but Jesus never said “I cometh.”
Son of man is a title. It ultimately comes from the Book of Daniel, where it refers to the Messiah, and is frequently used in the Gospels as a title of Jesus. Presumably the title is symbolic of the perfect humanity that Jesus represented. However, the title Son of man does not apply exclusively to Jesus.
Jesus said we would see the Son of man coming in the clouds, but He was not referring to Himself and He was not referring to the physical clouds in the sky. He was referring to clouds as a symbol for things that are contrary to the ways and desires of men, things that will cloud their judgment and veil them from the Truth when the Christ Spirit returns.
Jesus was the Christ. Baha’u’llah was the
return of the Spirit of Christ. Jesus was the Son of man. Baha’u’llah was the
return of the Son of man. Jesus said we would see the Son of man. Jesus never said you would see me.
Mark 14:62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Matthew 24:30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
Mark 13:26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
Jesus did not say
“And then shall they see
me coming in the clouds with great power and glory.”
Not once in the New Testament did Jesus ever promise to return to earth. There is not one verse. That is because Jesus never planned to return to earth.
John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Jesus said that He had finished the work that God gave Him to do
and He was no more in the world
and He was going to the Father. This shows that Jesus never planned to return (I am no more in the world) and there was no need to return since He finished the work God gave Him to do.
Then in the next chapter you have these verses:
John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
John 18:37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.
These two verses completely negate that Jesus is the King of this earth world
or that Jesus will ever come to earth and rule it, and they fit perfectly together with
John 17:4 and
John 17:11. Jesus came into this world to (1) glorify God (glorified thee on the earth)
and (2) that I should bear witness unto the truth. Jesus did these things so there is no more reason for Jesus to return to earth. That is why Jesus said “
I am no more in the world.”
When Jesus referred to the Son of man, Jesus was referring to another Person,
another Comforter, also known as the Spirit of truth. Jesus never promised that He would return in the same body. He promised to send His Spirit, the Christ Spirit:
John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
John 16:13-14 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
Baha’u’llah did everything Jesus said he would do in John 14:26, John 15:26, John 16:8-11,13,14. The Holy Spirit living inside of Christians could not do what it says in these verses. Only a man could do these things. I can prove Baha’u’llah did these things but I do not want to get into that now since that will make this post too long.
Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
In the Old Testament it says that nothing can be added to it, but the New Testament is a New Testament, so surely it was an addition to God’s Word.
Jesus did not say “if anyone comes along and teaches anything other than the Gospel which He taught, let them be cursed and pay no attention to them.” Paul said that.
Galatians 1:8-9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
However, it is still valid because
there is only one gospel, the gospel of Jesus Christ. That means if anyone tried to preach another gospel they would be a liar and a fraud; accursed.
The Baha’i Faith is not “another gospel.” It is a new revelation from God, just as the New Testament was
a new revelation from God that
superseded the Old Testament that came from Moses and the prophets of old.
Nobody should ever add to the Word of God once it has been recorded. However, that does not mean that God can never speak again in the future. We know God can speak again because God spoke again after Moses. Just as Christians believe the New Testament is the final word of God, Jews believe the Torah is the final word of God, but we know that Jesus is the Word of God so we know the Jews are wrong.
“And when the days of Moses were ended, and the light of Jesus, shining forth from the Day Spring of the Spirit, encompassed the world, all the people of Israel arose in protest against Him. They clamored that He Whose advent the Bible had foretold must needs promulgate and fulfil the laws of Moses, whereas this youthful Nazarene, who laid claim to the station of the divine Messiah, had annulled the laws of divorce and of the sabbath day—the most weighty of all the laws of Moses. Moreover, what of the signs of the Manifestation yet to come? These people of Israel are even unto the present day still expecting that Manifestation which the Bible hath foretold! How many Manifestations of Holiness, how many Revealers of the light everlasting, have appeared since the time of Moses, and yet Israel, wrapt in the densest veils of satanic fancy and false imaginings, is still expectant that the idol of her own handiwork will appear with such signs as she herself hath conceived! Thus hath God laid hold of them for their sins, hath extinguished in them the spirit of faith, and tormented them with the flames of the nethermost fire. And this for no other reason except that Israel refused to apprehend the meaning of such words as have been revealed in the Bible concerning the signs of the coming Revelation. As she never grasped their true significance, and, to outward seeming, such events never came to pass, she, therefore, remained deprived of recognizing the beauty of Jesus and of beholding the Face of God. And they still await His coming! From time immemorial even unto this day, all the kindreds and peoples of the earth have clung to such fanciful and unseemly thoughts, and thus have deprived themselves of the clear waters streaming from the springs of purity and holiness...”
